Introducing the AKA Motions blog
Guides for event organisers and brands, behind-the-scenes stories from our shoots, and the craft behind the films. Here's what to expect.
AKA started in 2023, when two brothers, Junior and Justin, picked up their first camera. Since then we've filmed festivals, club nights and brand campaigns across Australia, Thailand and Singapore, always chasing one idea: see what others miss.
This blog is where we'll share what we've learned along the way.
What we'll write about
- Festival & Events: planning aftermovies, capturing crowds and making event content that sells next year's tickets.
- Brand & Commercial: how to brief, plan and get the most out of a brand film or commercial.
- Planning Guides: straight answers to common questions about budgets, timelines, rights and hiring.
- Behind the Scenes: how our shoots and edits actually come together.
- Gear & Craft: lenses, light, colour and the techniques behind the look.
Where to start
If you're organising an event, start with how to plan a festival aftermovie. If you're a brand, read brand film vs commercial. And if you're comparing videographers, our 8 questions to ask before hiring will help.

How much does event videography cost? What actually affects the price
There's no single price for event videography. Here are the factors that shape a quote, so you can compare offers fairly and brief your videographer properly.
